rett, President OF the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad, was seen to-day, but
had nothing to say in regard to the
reported arrangement for a transfer of
the control Of that road to a syndicate
representing the Reading, Richmond
Terminal, and other companies.
NEW York, March 9.-The Times
contains a statement, which appears
to be authentic, that has created a sem
sation in this city, as the corporation
is largely interested in the Baltimore
and Ohio, and there are private in
terests which are opposed to the con-
troll of the road going out OF Baltimore
hands. The Baltimore & Ohio road
| has been looked upon as a Baltimore
enterprise, and while Garrett has pre-
served reticence as to everything that
has been rumored, there are many
who fear that there is truth in the
statement published. There is a con-
viction here that if the road shall pass
into other hands, the express and tele-
graph system will go with it.
The Evening Post, in its financial
article, SAYS the attention of the street
and general public has been concen-
trated upon the progress Of the scheme
for the amalgamation of a half dozen
great railroad properties under control
OF the Richmond Terminal Syndicate,
with so much skepticism about its sue
cess that even when it was openly and
positively stated by members of the
syndicate that they had acquired con
troll of the Baltimore & Ohio, specu-
lators and others apparently waited
for further developments to show the
extent of the scheme before taking
much interest in the market. The
prevailing belief is that a settlement
of the telegraph war, of the Jersey
Central, Reading, Baltimore & Ohio,
will be one of the results. The Rich
mond Terminal Combination acknowl-
edged hat the Baltimore & Ohio would
like to part with its telegraph property,
which is at present in a state of war.
Joined the American Colony
BosToN, March 9.-Wm. c. Hick-
man, originally of Philadelphia, but
lately of Boston, has joined the Ameri-
can Colony in Canada, after having, it
is alleged, swindled a number OF Bos-
ton capitalists out of between $50, 900
and SAC, 900. Hickman claimed to
have a formula for manufacturing an
article he called sugarine out of COM
mon starch. The sugarine waste take
the place of the ordinary sugar, to
which it was equal in all respects.
According to Hickman's story, sugar
inc could be made for IL cents per
pound, and sold readily for So cents.
Several capitalists became interested
and furnished considerable sums of
money, which it is said Hickman per-
verted to his own use. When he
found he could no longer blindfold his
dupes he left the city for Montreal,
where he is now. Hickman is said to
be very well connected in Philadelphia.
Injured by y Fly wheel.
CHICAGO, March ga terrible ac-
cident occurred at the North Chicago
| rolling mills about 4:30 O'Clock this
| afternoon. At that hour the belt on
the big fly wheel in the machine shop
became loose, and a minute later the
| fly wheel flew into pieces, huge frag-
ments of iron being hurled in every
| direction. The workmen, OF whom
there were a large number in the
room, were struck by the flying mis-
siles, and one Of them, friedrich Allen,
was so badly injured that he cannot
live. Allen was struck in the face by
a huge chunk of iron, a horrible
wound, which left his lungs and heart
exposed to view, being inflicted.
James Ryan was also badly injured,
and may not recover

LANCASTER, Pa, March 9.-M. Wat
son and Arthur Green, desperate
Welsh mountain thieves, confined in
the Lancaster county prison, became
rebellious this morning, and threat
ened to brain any person who entered
their cell with a big oak stick, which
they broke from the carpet loom.
The keeper thrust a pistol into the
cell to intimidate them, when they
knocked the weapon from his hand
and secured it. They have since held
possession of the cell, threatening to
shoot any person who comes near,
and all attempts to disarm them have
failed. An effort will be made to
starve them out.
A Boiler Explosion.
ITHACA, Mich, March 0.-The boiler
in w. f. Thompson's tube factory ex.
ploded this afternoon with terrific
force. Four men were killed and five
severely injured.
